ONLY 19 lyrics

----------
  printable copy of the lyrics to ONLY 19 
Mum and Dad and Danny saw the passing out parade at Puckapunyal
It was a long march from cadets
The sixth battalion was next to tour, it was me who drew the card
We did Canungra, Shoalwater, before we left

Not the lyrics to "ONLY 19" ?, Please report that below.
And Townsville lined the footpaths as we marched down to the quay
This clipping from the paper shows a youngon', strong and clean
And there's me with me slouch hat, my SLR and greens
God help me - I was only nineteen

Do you know what album had this song, can you report to us below?
From Vung Tau riding Chinooks to the dust at Nui Dat
I'd been in and out of choppers now for months

And an Asian orange sunset through the scrub

If you can not find the lyrics you want, You may want to request them.
And can you tell me, doctor, why I can't get to sleep?
And night time's just a jungle dark and a barking M.16?
And what's this rash that comes and goes, can you tell me what it means?
God help me - I was only nineteen

So you closed your eyes and you thought about somethin' else

Frankie kicked the mine the day that mankind kicked the moon
God help me - he was goin' home in June

Anything wrong with the lyrics to "ONLY 19" on this page, Would you please report that ?
I can still see Frankie, drinkin' tinnies in the Grand Hotel
On a thirty-six hour rec. leave in Vung Tau
And I can still hear Frankie, lyin' screamin' in the jungle
'Til the morphine came and killed the bloody row

 
And the Anzac legends didn't mention mud and blood and tears
And the stories that my father told me never seemed quite real
And I caught some pieces in my back that I d
